Our eyes are some of our most precious organs – so we should be doing
all we can to take care of them! However, in today’s world, it can be
difficult to find the time to really take care of our eyes. But did you
know you can improve your eyesight without contacts or glasses? Have you
ever tried eye exercises, or proper nutrition for your eyes? Keep
reading to find out some simple things you can do every day to improve
your vision naturally and fast.
Treat Your Eyes Right
While you may have heard it a thousand times, it is really important
to eat right! Eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables
will seriously help improve your eyesight and keep it from
deteriorating. It is also important to eat the right vitamins to support
eye health. Vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin A, C, and E, are all important to eye health.
Anti-oxidants (remember eating carrots for your eyes?) are also a
great source of nutrients for healthy eyes. If you don’t think you’re
getting the right kinds of vitamins, consider taking a supplement or
multi-vitamin.
Our Rebuild Your Vision Program actually recommends 17 different
vitamins you should take to support your eyesight. While taking vitamins
won’t completely correct your vision, they are still a very important
part of your overall eye health.
Rest Properly
Supporting
your eye health is just one of the many benefits of getting enough
sleep and taking breaks during the work day. While you shouldn’t be
sleeping on the job, it is still important to rest your eyes once in a
while! If you work on a computer all day,
your eyes are probably under a lot of strain. Do yourself (and your
eyes) a favor by taking a break for about 10 minutes for every 50
minutes spent in front of the screen. Simply close your eyes for a
minute or get up and walk around the office. Focus on something that
isn’t a screen.
You can also rest your eyes by following the 10-10-10 rule. This means you should look at something 10 feet away for 10 seconds for every 10 minutes you spend working on the computer!
Additionally, getting around eight hours of sleep a night is
incredibly important for your eye health. If your eyes are well-rested,
they will be in much better condition! If you currently do not sleep
enough or take enough breaks at work, try it out for a week and see the
difference it can make!
Perform Eye Exercises
One of the fastest ways to improve your vision naturally is to
perform daily eye exercises. Eye exercises are meant to strengthen the
eyes and improve vision. Using eye exercises can even eliminate your
need for contacts or glasses. Get a regular schedule of eye exercises
and try to do them daily – this will help you get in the habit of
performing exercises and also help you achieve better vision fast.
First, apply heat to your eyes by rubbing your palms together and
then placing them over your eyes. Hold your hands over your eyes for
five to 10 seconds, and then repeat. Do this before performing any eye
exercises in order to prepare your eyes!
Start exercising by rolling your eyes. Rolling is one of the easiest
eye exercises! Without straining your eyes (remember to stop if it
hurts), look up as far as you can. Then, look down. Repeat this 10
times. Now look to each side, repeating 10 times. After that, look in
each diagonal direction. Finally, roll your eyes in a counter-clockwise
motion about 10 times, then reverse the movement and roll them
clockwise.
Grab a pen and hold it at arm’s length, making sure the pen is at eye
level. Focus on the tip of the pen as you move it closer to your eyes.
Stop when you get about six inches away from your face, and focus on the
tip as you move it back to arm’s length. Remember to do this slowly and
focus on the tip of the pen. Repeat about 10 times.
Massage your eyes after exercising. First, massage your temples with
your fingertips or one of your knuckles. Move in a clockwise motion
several times, and then switch to a counter-clockwise motion. Massage
over your eyebrows and under your eyes as well.
When you’re done exercising and massaging, apply heat to your eyes
once more by rubbing your palms together. If your eyes are really tired,
close them and rest for a few moments. Resting your eyes frequently, as
described in the previous section, is very important to preserving the
health of your eyes!
